Snap-On tools auction.....

I thought I had enough at £28k (all bought when I was young, without wife & kids) best things I ever bought really, still earning me decent money to this day when I want to.

My dad works as a master technician for mitsubishi, his collection is worth around the 25k mark i think, toolbox alone was 4k.

Have you seen the limited edition tool chests that are 11 k?

Snap-on are ok. Britool are helluva lot better, and draper are sufficient for general use

Mechanic friend swears by Snap-on, my dad, a maintenance engineer for 25 years rates Britool for the ergonomics + heavy duty ruggedness for using them potentially for hours a day, Whereas Draper is heavy duty enough for us for maintenance of a few mowers a few times a week
